Pokemon GO April 2024 Community Day & previous headliners list
Pokemon GO's April 2024 Community Day event features the popular Grass/Poison-type Bellsprout, so you'll need to know the schedule, dates, and bonuses to keep track of what's happening.
Community Days are the best events in Pokemon GO, giving you a chance to catch a specific Pokemon with boosted Shiny rates and a featured attack for its final evolution. Here's everything that's happening during April's event, as well as a list of all the previous headliners.
April 2024 Community Day date & time
The Bellsprout Community Day event will take place on Saturday, April 20, 2024, from 2PM to 5PM local time.
During that three-hour window, Bellsprout will appear more frequently in the wild and have a higher chance of being Shiny! This is the perfect time to add a Shiny version of this OG Pokemon to your collection.
Click to enlargeI'll be honest, the Shiny versions of Bellsprout, Weepinbell, and Victreebel have always been a bit disappointing for me. They look so similar to the original colour schemes that you might not even realise they're Shiny if you saw them in the wild.
Having said that, I'll still be trying to get a Shundo as always, especially as someone who loves the nostalgia of the Kanto region.
April 2024 Community Day featured attack
If you evolve a Weepinbell between 2PM and 10PM, you'll get a Victreebel that knows the attack Magical Leaf. This is a Grass-type Fast Move with a nice balance between damage output and energy generation.
Magical Leaf looks like a decent addition to Victreebel's moveset, so it's worth evolving one while you can - especially if you can get a Shadow version!

The following bonuses will be available from 2PM to 5PM:
- 3x Stardust and 2x Candy for catching Pokemon

If you're wondering why there are no Community Days listed for the December months, that's because every December features the return of the previous year's headliners (and sometimes the prior year's too!).
While this is a great time to catch up on any headliners you've missed throughout the year, it does mean there's nothing 'new' to encounter in terms of Shinies or featured attacks.
